DOCK FOR EXTENDING THE UTILITY OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

Systems and methods for providing a dock that extends the utility of an electronic device are provided. In some embodiments, responsive to detecting an electronic device, a dock may cause an establishment of a connection between the dock and the electronic device. The dock may obtain one or more interface requirements for the electronic device that enable the dock to interact with the electronic device. The dock may obtain, via the established connection, based on the interface requirements, a request from an application of the electronic device for content stored at a source external to the dock and the electronic device. The dock may cause the requested content to be presented via at least one of the output devices responsive to obtaining the requested content from the external source.

主权项

1. A dock for extending the utility of electronic devices, the dock comprising:
one or more output devices; one or more physical processors programmed with computer program instructions which that, when executed, cause the dock to effectuate operations comprising:
responsive to detecting an electronic device, causing an establishment of a connection between the dock and the electronic device;obtaining one or more interface requirements for the electronic device that enable the dock to interact with the electronic device;obtaining, via the established connection, based on the one or more interface requirements, a request from an application of the electronic device for content stored at a source external to the dock and the electronic device; andresponsive to obtaining the requested content from the external source, causing the requested content to be presented via at least one of the one or more output devices without the requested content being provided to the electronic device such that access to the requested content by any application existing on the electronic device is prevented.
